I leaned that the Romans ruled the Iberian Peninsula also known as Hispania because that's what they called them. I found out that the Ebro Basin created a race fear for courage. The Celts and the Iberians combined their names together and became known as "Celtiberians". The Celtiberians believed that they were heroic and loyal; they would rather poison themselves instead of going to fight a war alive. I think it is interesting to learned the history about the different types of groups and how they acted; also to know what they did back then and how it reflects Spain today.

I do think that the Romans had it easy because they had a genius for civil engineering and the Celtics and Iberians they've been intimidated by the glories of the Roman civilization. The Romans have been builders; they've built roads, bridges, and aqueducts. Rome ruled the Iberian Peninsula; Romans are like the typical popular kids that everyone wanted to be in high school. Even the north of the Ebro River fell under Roman's control. I also found it amazing how Roman Empire's first century came an event of monumental significance and introduced Christianity to Iberia. I am a Catholic and from my understanding Catholic came from Rome and I just would like to read more about the history of it and find out if I was told a different story. So yes before I get off subject I do think the Romans had it easy!
